The next day, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the snow stopped. But the cold wind was biting.

As Shi An expected, the top and bottom of the Jin Mansion are now in a mess. On the night before, sure enough, Jin Er didn't dare to tell Jin Zhixian directly, but went to ask Mrs. Jin.

Sun Lang left to sleep early under the pretext of drunkenness, Mrs. Jin was chatting with her daughter, and after listening to Jin Er's story about the two leaving home, she couldn't help but shout angrily: "Jin Er, you are really a good mallet, will Miss and Uncle tell them to go out to get things in the middle of the night? You are really a dog brain, you are going to let this pair of dog men and women elope, be careful about your dog's life." You first go and ask Jin Fu to carefully check the situation at home to see if any money or property is missing, and then you lead the family to arrest them for me overnight. Qiong'er, a little prodigal hoof, has been seducing our master, if I hadn't watched it closely, I would have let her hand a long time ago. If you find them, you will beat me to death first, and the death will be mine. ”

"Madam, are you going to find them at the post station?" asked Kim Shoi tremblingly.

"It's not false to say that you are a dog's brain, could they have gone to the inn? must have fled in the opposite direction, to the west!" said Madame King angrily.

Jin Er resigned and complied.

"Mother, don't be angry, don't you just run two people?" Miss Jin persuaded.

"This must be strictly managed, otherwise one will run away today, and one will run tomorrow, won't the family be chaotic? Besides, Jin Gui ran away, and it didn't cost us any money, Qiong'er's dead girl is different, she was bought back by our family for five taels of silver. I'll go tell your dad now, see what kind of face he covets the dead girl, and let him break off the idea of marrying this little goblin. Speaking of this, Mrs. Jin was even a little happy, on weekdays, Jin Zhixian looked at Qiong'er with a smile, and she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, if Jin Zhixian really married that vixen, her status might be reduced.

After a while, Mrs. Jin's pig-like cry came from the backyard, "Master, master, what's wrong with you?

When he landed, the golden house was in chaos.

The overnight search did not find Jin Gui and Qiong'er. Before the day dawned, the soldiers defending the city had received the news that the county town of Yixian was under martial law all day, and it was not allowed to enter or leave, and soldiers and officials were sent to search the city from house to house. On the other hand, the county government is ready to transfer personnel to report to the state government yamen. For a time, there was a miasma of smoke in Yixian County, and chickens flew and dogs jumped.

At this time, Shi An had just knocked on the west wing, and Qiong'er was standing at the door with dark circles and listlessness, thinking that she hadn't slept all night. Shi An told her the method discussed with Shen Huicai the day before, and Qiong'er went back to the room to rest with an excited face.

Shi An cleaned up a few rooms except for the west wing, and Shen Huicai came over every day to clean up, there was no dust, so he just rearranged the order of the items that Shen Huicai had messed up according to the habits of the master before his death, and while cleaning up, he was still wondering why the master and his mother didn't sell the medicine field, or leave this place with him.

Absentmindedly tidying up the study, Shi An suddenly found an unopened letter in the most commonly used pharmaceutical book on the master's desk, and the envelope was written "An'er personally opened", and at first glance, the handwriting was written by the master's father.

Shi An hurriedly tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter to read.

"An'er:

If you look at this letter, then the teacher will die, and the person who kills the teacher will also be Jinhuan. I regret that I have not fulfilled my destiny. Remember the last words of the teacher:

First, don't think about revenge. Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Yu's father tasted the clouds, and the ancestors expected that Zhao's Jingzi would have a catastrophe, and Gengzi would die in Huangquan. The peers of the clan have nothing to do today, so this catastrophe may be in the remainder, and it is destined not to complain. Besides, Jin Huan is the head of Yi County, what can you do?"

Shi An said secretly, as expected, the master had already guessed that the person who killed him was Jin Huan, but he had also guessed another enemy, Sun Lang. Knowing that he is a temperamental person, he still cares about his own safety when he is dying, and does not forget to tell himself not to hit a stone with an egg. But it's impossible not to take revenge, I have poisoned Jin Huan yesterday, and now I only hope that one day I can slash the dog thief Sun Lang and avenge this monstrous hatred to comfort the spirit of the master and the mother in the sky.

"Second, the death of Yu Zhi's body must be due to the medicinal field at home, which is a relic of the ancestors. Ancestor Yun This field is the foundation of the Zhao family's life, but no one knows its wonderful use. When his father was there, the brothers had abandoned him, but only his father persisted, and Yu also died. However, he has no heirs, and his life cannot be passed on. For the rest of the reason, the clan must be with Jin Huan, and the vein of the Zhao family is broken, which is a pity. If you are lucky, you will comfort the spirit of the ancestors of the Zhao family, and you will be very lucky. ”

Seeing this, Shi An understood why the master did not stay away from the disaster, it turned out that he was just to abide by the family motto and stick to the ancestral relic of the six acres of medicinal fields. As for why this medicinal field is the root of the Zhao family and what is its use, Shi An doesn't care, he just hopes that he can take it back one day, as the master said in his last words. Although he is not of the Zhao family's bloodline, in order to repay the master's sixteen years of nurturing, he will definitely pass on the medicine field as a child of the Zhao family.

"Third, when you were young, you repeatedly asked about your life experience, and Yu did not tell the truth, and now it is your way. At the end of the year of Jiashen, he collected medicine for the teacher Cangmeng Mountain, and got a swaddling baby on the top of the mountain, and a child cried in it, and the surrounding beasts did not dare to approach, and I was strange, so I returned home with it. When he was more than thirty years old, he had no children under his knees, and although he called you a disciple, he actually regarded you as a son. Shi Ru's neck is surrounded by jade pendants, and the history is written later, so it is suspected to be the surname of history. I hope that you will be safe in this life, so the name is An, and the word Yizhi. ”

Shi An knew since he was a child that he was not born to Zhao Langzhong and his wife, so he asked the master many times about his origins. Master has always said that he was the only surviving person he met when he passed through a plague-stricken village in Anzhou, and he took it back for adoption when he saw the pitiful situation. Only now did I know that I had such a strange encounter.

Speaking of the jade pendant, Shi An took out the thing that had been worn close to his neck from his arms. In fact, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to call it a jade pendant, because it is the size of a walnut, and the whole body resembles an irregular round ball, with a small hole at the top, and a red rope that looks like cotton and silk. This nondescript jade pendant is extremely ordinary, firstly, because the material is ordinary, similar to black jade, but the color is not as bright as black jade, and there is no warmth of black jade, and it is even a little rough. The second is because the carving is not fine, the general jade pendant or carved dragon pattern, gluttonous pattern, Fu Lu Shou pattern, or carved animals, plants, utensils, or carved Buddha and Bodhisattva statues, this jade pendant has almost no pattern, but there is a hole the size of a fingernail near the bottom, the outer edge of this hole is somewhat uneven, not smooth, it seems to be very deep inside, but it has not been opened to the other side of the jade pendant. Flipping it over, it has been smoothed out in a small place at the back, and there is a simple and vigorous seal inscription "history" engraved on it.

Shi An remembered that when he was young, he often hated this jade pendant because of his strange and ugly appearance, and mentioned many times that he wanted his master to buy him a new one. But the master repeatedly and solemnly asked him to carry it with him and not to replace it. He had also stoned and burned this jade pendant, but it was not damaged at all, and finally threw it into the center of the medicine field, lied to the master that it was lost, and when the master found it, he beat him severely. This was the first and only time Shi An was beaten by Master. Since then, this jade pendant has never left Shi An's chest.

"Fourth, you have been deaf and clear since childhood, different from ordinary people, this day's favor also, the practice of medicine must be a good talent in the world, the remaining medical codex twelve volumes, are for the teacher Xinglin more than 30 years of experience, hope you learn and learn it, save the life and help the wounded, benefit the world.

Woohoo, parting tears, looking forward to a healthy life.

Teacher: Zhao's Jingxu

Gengzi Year Xin Si Yue Gui Chou Day"

Shi An read the letter and couldn't help but burst into tears. Although Zhao Langzhong and himself have always been commensurate with each other, they are actually better than father and son. Think of the master holding himself to the bazaar, teaching himself to read and write word by word, teaching himself to grow and dispense medicine, taking himself to the clinic during the day, eating and chatting together at night, and the family is happy. In the end, because of Jin Huan and other wicked people, his family was separated from yin and yang because of a piece of medicine field, how could this make Shi An not hate it? He secretly swore in his heart that even if he lost his life, he would cut the remaining Sun Lang with a thousand knives.
